How often will someone need to get Voluma treatments?

Hi,Voluma is not a commodity that is used the same in all patients.  There are patients who have minimal volume loss who may need a small amount one time over a two year period.  There are other patients who need a large amount of volume replacement.  Those patients are treated initially and asked to return to our office about 2 to 3 weeks after their treatment and may have a little more if needed.  The US studies have shown that Voluma lasts up to two years, based on an average of 5 to 6 syringes per patient.  We have just completed the Dr. de Maio Masters Course of Voluma Injections that emphasized the best strategic areas of the face for getting the best, longest lasting Voluma results while using a minimum of the product, saving patients potentially thousands of dollars.  Most importantly, choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their artistic vision, experience, and technical skill.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

The study submitted to the FDA that led to approval of Voluma in the US cited 2+ years of effect. This effect does rely on fully correcting cheek volume loss at the time of treatment. It is not uncommon to have an initial Voluma treatment with a "touch-up" at some point in the first few months to ensure adequate cheek shape and complete correction. If the cheek aging and volume loss are not completely corrected with Voluma, one cannot expect to see the full two year duration of effect.

In the clinical study, Voluma showed to prove duration that lasted up to two years. Not all patients will maintain two years of duration, as some people don't get as long of a duration with injectable fillers as others. While the product may last for two years, your face will continue to age, and annual maintenance for cheek enhancement is likely. Touch-ups may be required to maintain optimal fullness in the cheeks.
